Skype lessons-beginner

Hi Everybody,

I was wondering if there's anyone out there who would be able to give beginner lessons over Skype/FaceTime (the signal is better with FaceTime). I live in Jeddah, and I've finally succeeded in finding a shop here that sells ouds and has lessons. But I can't sit in a glass storefront in my abaya to receive lessons without risking him being reported, and I don't live in a compound. If anyone is able to do this, I would be extremely grateful.

Hello Samantha. I take lessons with Mavrothi Kontanis via Skype, and I know he can use FaceTime too. I highly recommend him as a teacher. His email is: mtkontanis@gmail.com He is also a member here, and one of his websites is: http://oudcafe.com/

Thank you David! I managed to find an appropriate venue to practice, but I'll keep his contact info in reserve because this situation could very easily get tricky. I really appreciate the information, thank you so much!!!
